The 24-year-old centre back only joined the club in January 2018 from Athletic Bilbao for a fee of £57m and in little over a year has established himself as a regular first choice starter.

Laporte currently has an amazing 83% win percentage in Premier League games – having won 30 of 36 league games he has played in and the highest of any player to have played 20 or more Premier League games.

He helped the team lift the Carabao Cup and the Premier League trophy with a record 100 point haul by the end of last season.

With City still in the running for an unprecedented quadruple trophy haul the Frenchman was delighted to sign up for a further six seasons after the current campaign.

Laporte said: “I could not be happier to commit my long-term future to Manchester City.” Since the day I arrived here, I have been made to feel welcome by Pep and all of the players.

“The club offers me everything I need to improve my game. I’ve already made great strides and I want to continue getting better and better.

“Obviously, I want to win silverware and I feel City is the best place to fulfil all of my ambitions.”

Manchester City director of football, Txiki Begiristain, said: “Aymeric is a huge talent and the fact he has committed his best years to us is something to celebrate.

“We knew before we brought him here that he had outstanding potential but his improvement over the past 12 months has been exceptional.

“We want to construct a young, vibrant side, and Aymeric fits perfectly into our plans. His style of play suits us and his attitude since the day he arrived has been first class.

“He can be as good as he wants to be, and Manchester City will be a better side with him in it over the coming seasons.”
